Fruit Magic

Jiffy cake mixes are basically flour, sugar, shortening and flavoring. Adding egg and water makes that a cake, but if you add margarine, like this recipe suggests, you turn it into a very rich flavored streusel sort of thing that bakes into something like a cobbler. This recipe and its variations have been making the rounds for about forty years and I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw this pop up in a few more boxes in the near future.
